Passage1
While still catching-up to men in some spheres of modern life,women appear to be way ahead in at least one undesirable category.“Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men,”
according to Dr.Yehuda,chief psychiatrist at New York’s Veteran’s Administration Hospital.
Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect the stress response,causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions.In several of the studies,when stressed-out female rats had their ovaries(the female reproductive organs)removed,their chemical responses became equal to those of the males.
Adding to a woman’s increased dose of stress chemicals,are her increased “opportunities”for stress.“It’s not necessarily that women don’t cope as well.It’s just that they have so much more to cope with,”says Dr.Yehuda.“Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men’s,”she observes,“it’s just that they’re dealing with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly and sooner.”
Dr.Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes.“I think that the kinds of things that women are exposed to tend to be in more of a chronic or repeated nature.Men go to war and are exposed to combat stress.Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence.The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations,by,unfortunately,parents or other family members,and they tend not to be one-shot deals.The wear-and-tear that comes from these longer relationships can be quite devastating.”
Adeline Alvarez married at18and gave birth to a son,but was determined to finish college.“I struggled a lot to get the college degree.I was living in so much frustration that that was my escape,to go to school,and get ahead and do better.”Later,her marriage ended and she became a single mother.“It’s the hardest thing to take care of a teenager,have a job, pay the rent,pay the car payment,and pay the debt.I lived from paycheck to paycheck.”
Not everyone experiences the kinds of severe chronic stresses Alvarez describes.But most women today are coping with a lot of obligations,with few breaks,and feeling the strain.Alvarez’s experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function.
16.Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?
A.Women are biologically more vulnerable to stress.
B.Women are still suffering much stress caused by men.
C.Women are more experienced than men in coping with stress.
D.Men and women show different inclinations when faced with stress.
17.Dr.Yehuda’s research suggests that women______.
A.need extra doses of chemicals to handle stress
B.have limited capacity for tolerating stress
C.are more capable of avoiding stress
D.are exposed to more stress
18.According to Paragraph4,the stress women confront tends to be______.
A.domestic and temporary
B.irregular and violent
C.durable and frequent
D.trivial and random
19.The sentence“I lived from paycheck to paycheck.”(Line6,Para.5)shows that______.
A.Alvarez cared about nothing but making money
B.Alvarez’s salary barely covered her household expenses
C.Alvarez got paychecks from different jobs
D.Alvarez paid practically everything by check

Passage4
Just five one-hundredths of an inch thick,light golden in color and with a perfect “saddle curl,”the Lay’s potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global domination.But its maker,Frito-Lay,thinks otherwise.“Potato chips are a snack food for the world,”said Salman Amin,the company’s head of global marketing.Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip.
Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America,owned by Pepsico,and accounts for over half of the parent company’s$3billion annual profits.But the U.S.snack food market is largely saturated,and to grow,the company has to look overseas.
Its strategy rests on two beliefs:first,a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete.And second,consumers in the21st century are drawn to“global”as a concept.“Global”does not mean products that are consciously identified as American,but ones than consumes—especially young people—see as part of a modern, innovative(创新的)world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes.Potato chips are an American invention,but most Chinese,for instance,do not know that Frito-Lay is an American company.Instead,Riskey,the company’s research and development head,would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business.
With brand perception a crucial factor,Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo (标识).The logo,along with the company’s long-held marketing image of the “irresistibility”of its chips,would help facilitate the company’s global expansion.
The executives acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food created in America,but they deny that amounts to economic imperialism.Rater,they see Frito-Lay as spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world.“We’re making products in those countries,we’re adapting them to the tastes of those countries,building businesses and employing people and changing lives,”said Steve Reinemund,Pepsico’s chief executive.
26.It is the belief of Frito-Lay’s head of global marketing that______.
A.potato chips can hardly be used as a weapon to dominate the world market
B.their company must find new ways to promote domestic sales
C.the light golden color enhances the charm of their company’s potato chips
D.people all over the world enjoy eating their company’s potato chips
27.What do we learn about Frito-Lay from Paragraph2?
A.Its products use to be popular among overseas consumers.
B.Its expansion has caused fierce competition in the snack marker.
C.It gives half of its annual profits to its parent company.
D.It needs to turn to the word market for development.
28.One of the assumptions on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that ______.
A.consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brands
B.local brands cannot compete successfully with American brands
C.products suiting Chinese consumers’needs bring more profits
D.products identified as American will have promising market value
29.Why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned?
A.To suit changing tastes of young consumers.
B.To promote the company’s strategy of globalization.
C.To change the company’s long-held marketing image.
D.To compete with other American chip producers.
30.Frito-Lay’s executives claim that the promoting of American food in the international market______.
A.won’t affect the eating habits of the local people
B.will lead to economic imperialism
C.will be in the interest of the local people
D.won’t spoil the taste of their chips。
